Bleeding disorders are rare and complex, and to some nurses, frightening. The information in this presentation is designed to introduce and discuss the management of pediatric patients with a bleeding disorder. Infusion nurses are key to high-quality care in the home setting. Therefore, bleeding disorder-specific education is critical in the implementation and delivery of excellent nursing care. During this presentation, participants will explore the classifications of bleeding disorders, review laboratory tests necessary for diagnosing a bleeding disorder, and discuss current and emerging treatment options, as well as complications associated with bleeding disorders.

Influenza, often referred to as the flu, is a virus that affects the respiratory tract. In the United States, the flu season has begun and it will end in the spring. Easily transmitted by droplet and airborne routes, the flu has an abrupt onset and may induce various complications, especially in high-risk populations. There are several ways to reduce the risk of becoming infected with the flu, including handwashing and having a flu shot. Nurses can have a significant impact on the management of influenza, and they are instrumental in educating patients and colleagues about the ways in which they can reduce their risk.

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cells are cellular immunotherapies used for the treatment of some malignancies. This adoptive cell therapy represents a new paradigm in cancer treatment, one in which the patient’s own immune system, specifically T-cells, are engineered to treat his or her cancer. CAR T-cell therapy is a complex treatment associated with unique and serious toxicities, making education a necessity for both the patient and the health care provider. This presentation will provide an overview of CAR T-cell therapy, toxicity assessment and management strategies, administration considerations, and patient education needs for the health care provider.

After the session, attendees will be able to apply the techniques described in this session to daily practice and to describe techniques to prevent burnout.

Nursing burnout is defined as physical, mental, and emotional exhaustion. Over time, it can lead to dulled emotions and disengagement from family, friends, coworkers, and patients. The National Institutes of Health has found that hospitals with a high rate of employee burnout tend to have lower patient satisfaction rates. Burnout also has been linked to increased infection rates. The combination of long shifts, stressful situations, dealing with sickness and death, and putting others first are likely causes of nursing burnout. Why does this happen and how can we fix it? This session will discuss the causes of burnout and how we can stay grounded by taking time for ourselves.

Learning Outcomes

After the session, attendees will be able to apply the techniques described in this session to daily practice and to describe techniques to prevent burnout.
